To: The Honorable Andrew Cuomo 

Members of the New York State Legislature 

On behalf of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Board of 

Directors, I am pleased to present this annual report for 2010. This submission contains a 

thorough analysis of Breeding Fund activities in what was a challenging year for the breeders, 

racehorse owners and stallion owners served by the Fund. 

At the same time, it was a year when stakeholders experienced very positive developments. The 

underpinnings of New York's thoroughbred industry were stabilized when state leaders 

embraced Genting New York as the operator of what will be one of the state's biggest 

Racinos. When that facility opens at Aqueduct in 2011, NYRA will realize a reliable revenue 

stream. It will also boost the Breeding Fund's incentive program. 

By making these incentives more generous, we will be in better position to attract new people to 

this exciting sport and form of recreation. 

Horse racing and agriculture-related industries play a vital role in the overall state economy 

and helps to preserve green space and bolster tourism in our state. The work by the Fund 

helps assure that New York remains a preeminent racing jurisdiction. 

The Fund's chief challenge in 2010 was tied to the demise of New York City OTB, which 

historically provided roughly one-third of all Fund revenues. The corporation declared

ankruptcy in December 2009 and later stopped statutory payments owed to the Fund. 

However, the Racing and Wagering Board secured a directive requiring 0113 to set aside 

revenue for the Fund in segregated accounts. As a result, most of that set-aside money was 

paid to the Fund by mid-December 2010. 

Today, the future of New York racing appears far brighter than it did just one year ago. The 

Fund is strong and weathered the storm. We look forward to another year of rising to the 

challenges that come our way. 

Sincerely, 

John D. Sabini, 

Chairman

Executive Summary 

To put a fresh twist on the slogan of the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund 

programs, New York-breds in 2010 still started with an advantage. Chief among those advantages: 

approximately $7.8 million* in awards earned by breeders, stallion owners, and race horse owners in 

2010. These awards help program participants pay feed bills, property taxes, and employees. Thus, the 

Fund continues to serve as a catalyst for the preservation of the States thoroughbred industry and the 

retention of an estimated 40,000 agri-business jobs in all parts of the states agricultural sector. 

The 2010 report details highlights of NY-bred accomplishments at home and abroad, and provides a 

detailed accounting of receipts and disbursements of the Breeding Funds three major incentive areas 

breeder awards, stallion awards, and open-company owner awards. Additionally, it contains the 

performance results of New York-breds at the racetrack and an analysis of the success of the New York 

State Thoroughbred Breeding Program regarding farm count, foal production, and New York-based 

stallions and their progeny. 

Among the highlights of 2010 were the accomplishments of New York-bred A Shin Forward, who won 

the Grade 1 Mile Championship at Kyoto race track in Japan in late November. Horses born on New 

York soil racked up international earnings totaling $69,289,272 in 2010. Bred by Edition Farm in 

Waccabuc, A Shin Forwards earnings now top $3.3 million, making him the second-highest NY-bred 

earner behind famed Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide. 

Speaking of A Shin Forward, we would be remiss if we did not mention that the entire equine community 

mourns the death of Henry Harry Malloy this past fall. Harry and his wife Vivien enjoyed running 

Edition Farm together, and have campaigned horses on the New York circuit for nearly three decades. 

The couple has passed on their love of horses to their five children and eleven grandchildren and stepgrandchildren. 

Mrs. Malloy told friends she believes Harry had his arms around the horse when A Shin 

Forward crossed the finish line in stakes-record time. 

The Malloys serve as a shining example of the kind of love and dedication to horses that drives so many 

of our breeders to carry on during tough times. Add to that a devotion to their farm land that would rival 

that of Gone With the Winds Gerald OHara (Lands the only thing in the world worth working for, 

fighting for, worth dying for, because its the only thing that lasts) and the reader will understand why 

the states breeders stick with the program as they tighten their belts and look for signs of stability and 

upswing in the equine economy. For many, stewardship of their land is something they look upon as a 

duty, which fits perfectly with the Breeding Funds mission: to preserve, protect, and promote the 

green-belt sector of NYS in order to foster the growth and expansion of NY’s thoroughbred 

breeding industry. 

We can look back on the Funds more than three-and-a-half decades of impact on the thoroughbred and 

agri-business economies and see that the programs administered by the Fund are at the very heart of what 

helps sustain the breeding of thoroughbreds here in the Empire State. Over 37 years, the Breeding Fund 

has returned nearly $350 Million to our agricultural and equine economy.

Significantly, New York-breds have the opportunity to compete for good purse money in restricted 

company on what is arguably the best circuit in the nation at Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race 

Track operated by the New York Racing Association. During last summers spa meet, NY-breds 

competed for an average purse of $44,849. And New York-breds also have the advantage of the 

opportunity to earn good money by running at Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack in the central part of 

our state. New York-sired horses win approximately 60% of all races run at the racino, and about onethird 

of all stakes races. In addition, a 2007 study found that with 115 trainers and 475 full-time 

employees, the racino has a $120 million economic impact annually on the surrounding region. 

Because the New York Breeding Program has become the envy of other states, several locales have 

pumped up their programs in an attempt to dethrone the acknowledged leader. The state of Indiana 

bankrolled some $200,000 worth of advertising to lure breeders to the Hoosier State. New Jersey cut back 

on racing dates, boosted purses, and generated an increase in total pari-mutuel handle of $123 million. 

Those higher purses forced NYRA to compete for horses to fill the starting gate by raising purse money 

for open-company races and cutting back on purses for NY-breds. Another challenge to breeders and 

commercial boarding operations in NYS comes from our neighboring state of Pennsylvania, where $20 

million annually is now disbursed through the PA program. 

Most readers are aware that the 2009 bankruptcy of NYC OTB, its subsequent failure to make full 

statutory payments to the Fund in 2010, followed by the failure of legislators to approve a settlement 

worked out over many months by major stakeholders had a negative impact on the industry in NYS. Add 

to that backdrop the fact that the Funds revenue is based solely on handle, which has been falling steadily 

for several years,** and it becomes apparent why the Fund had to make adjustments so that it could 

maintain its commitment to its core mission of preserving green space. Those adjustments included staff 

reductions, an extension of 2009 changes to the awards structure, and additional duties for the field 

inspectors who help maintain the integrity of the Breeding Fund Registry. 

Looking forward, its clear that NY-breds will be starting with a NEW advantage that comes with the 

delivery in mid-2011 of the long-promised VLTs at Aqueduct. Expected to be operational by July, the 

handle from the VLTs will fuel purse increases at the NYRA tracks and generate additional revenue for 

the Fund. For budgetary planning purposes, the Fund is estimating that each machine will generate an 

average of $275 per day, a figure that NYRA believes to be conservative. 

As youll see in the pages ahead, the roster of stallions standing in the state is a smaller but arguably 

stronger group of studs than has been here in the past. Two major Kentucky farms have launched satellite 

stallion operations by teaming up with farms that had already earned good reputations among the states 

breeders. 

The leading breeder in the nation, Adena Springs, teamed up in late 2010 with McMahon Thoroughbreds 

in Saratoga Springs. The Vinery operation out of Kentucky is providing NY-breeders with access to the 

Giants Causeway, Distorted Humor, and AP Indy sire lines as they add to the strong roster of stallions at 

the old Empire Stud in Hudson. 

The reader will also find in these pages the results of the 2009 Harry M. Zweig research report from 

Cornell University. When the 2010 report is published, the Fund will update this annual report to reflect

the latest equine research performed at Cornell with the support of $228,000 (preliminary figure) supplied 

by the Fund.

* As this report is being prepared, the Fund is still waiting for final revenue figures from racetracks and OTBs. 

** “Thoroughbred racing declined nationally in handle by 7.3% in 2008, by 9.8% in 2009, and by 8.4% in the first four months of 

2010.” Bennett Liebman. The New York Times, June 6, 2010.

Performance of NY Stallions in 2010 

By Rab Hagin 

For the first time since the 2002 season, two stallions standing in New York had over 

$4 million in annual progeny earnings: Posse ($4,224,805) and Freud ($4,035,403). 

And a total of eight New York stallions (all living) topped $2 million the highest 

number of living annual multi-millionaire sires ever to stand in New York. A dozen 

New York-based stallions had more than $1.6 million in 2010 progeny earnings, and 

the 11 of those that are still living (one died in 2006) are all scheduled to remain in the 

state for the 2011 breeding season. Freud, who entered stud in New York in 2002, 

became the first stallion with more than $4 million in annual New York-conceived 

progeny earnings since the late Cure the Blues achieved that distinction following his 

death more than a decade ago. 

Third-leading 2010 New York-based sire Repent ($3,016,624) and fourth-leading 

Congaree ($2,904,673) both stood in the state in 2010, while Touch Gold ($2,894,002) 

and Alphabet Soup ($2,605,414) arrived later in the year as part of the Adena Springs 

contingent to stand at Joe and Anne McMahon's McMahon of Saratoga 

Thoroughbreds. Golden Missile ($2,539,814) has stood at Dr. Jonathan Davis' Milfer 

Farm in Unadilla since 2008, but Grade 1-winning miler Purge ($2,288,817) is another 

late 2010 arrival to the Empire State, standing at Vinery New York in Hudson. 

Catienus ($1,913,144) and New York-bred Read the Footnotes ($1,879,444) both have 

stood substantial stretches of their stud careers in New York. 

Among New York's new stallion arrivals for 2011 that have not been represented by 

runners are two multiple Grade-1 winners of more than $2.3 million each: Tiago, 

whose first foals arrive in 2011 and who stands at Adena Springs/McMahon; and 

Marsh Side, who is entering stud under Questroyal Stud management. The track 

record-setting Tiago (Pleasant Tap Set Them Free, by Stop the Music) is scheduled 

to stand for $5,000 (live foal) as the property of a syndicate. Marsh Side (Gone West 

Colonial Play, by Pleasant Colony), a stakes winner on both turf and Polytrack, is 

owned by Robert Evans and stands at Silvernails Farm in Pine Plains for an 

introductory fee of $2,000 (live foal). 

Multiple Grade-2 winner Silent Name (Sunday Silence Danzigaway, by Danehill), 

whose first offspring are 2-year-olds of 2011, is another stallion on the Adena 

Springs/McMahon roster and has a 2011 fee of $5,000 (live foal). Entering stud at 

McMahon are graded winners Harlem Rocker (Macho Uno Freedom Come, by Lit 

de Justice) and Coal Play (Mineshaft Wiscasset, by Kris S.) the former as part of 

the Adena Springs contingent, and the latter as the property of McMahon. Harlem 

Rocker, who finished first in Aqueduct's Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile in 2008 but 

was disqualified to second, has a 2011 fee of $3,500 (live foal), and Coal Play, a 

standout miler, has a fee of $4,000 (live foal) for 2011. Entering stud at Vinery New 

York is multiple Grade-2 winner Justenuffhumor (Distorted Humor Justenuffheart, 

by Broad Brush), who is a half-brother to Eclipse Champion Dreaming of Anna and 

stands as a Darley Stallion for $5,000 (live foal).

Impressive Lineup of New Stallions Standing in NY 

By Tracy Egan 

A review of the trimmed-down list of registered New York stallions suggests that the 

needs of mare owners have dictated a retreat to quality for those studs standing in the 

state. Looking back to the year 2000, 134 stallions were holding court for mares. Just 

68 owners registered stallions for 2010, and by the end of January 2011, 70 stallions 

had fulfilled the requirements of registration to stand stud duty in New York in 2011. 

The owners of these horses can anticipate collecting stallion awards from purses 

enriched by the long-awaited unveiling of Video Lottery Terminals at Aqueduct. 

Certainly the two major Kentucky operations Adena Springs and Vinery that sent 

stallions to New York in late 2010 to stand for the 2011 breeding season believe that 

New York breeders will welcome the chance to breed their mares to in-state sires when 

those stallions are quality performers from good families and represent desirable sire 

lines. As Dermot Carty, Director of Sales for Adena Springs, put it, The slots 

initiative in the state of New York is very compelling. The prospect of improved 

purses as well as stallion and breeders awards was a strong motivation for Adena 

Springs Farm to support the New York State program with our stallions. 

Adena Springs topped its roster of studs standing at McMahon Thoroughbreds in 

Saratoga Springs with proven sire Touch Gold. The son of Deputy Minister has 

already sired 10 graded stakes winners and, with a $10,000 stud fee, figures to attract 

some of the states top mares whose owners are looking for Northern Dancer 

bloodlines. 

Listed alphabetically, the other Adena stallions that are new to New York are 

Breeders Cup Classic winner Alphabet Soup; Withers S. [G3] winner Harlem 

Rocker, who brings the Macho Uno sire line to New York; Silent Name (JPN), a dual 

G2 winner by top Japanese sire Sunday Silence out of a graded stakes-winning 

daughter of Danehill; and Tiago, the son of Pleasant Tap who earned $2.3 million 

dollars while notching wins in such prestigious Grade 1s as the Santa Anita Derby, 

The Goodwood Stakes and the Oaklawn Handicap, and who offers an outcross 

pedigree free of Raise A Native/Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer. 

Vinery made a seamless move into New York by taking over Empire Stud in Hudson. 

Having made its first foray into the NY stallion ranks in 2010 by sending popular sires 

Posse and Repent to the Hudson operation, Vinery took some more well-measured 

steps by sending three more graded stakes winners to the state for the next breeding 

season. 

First-year sire Justenuffhumor, a son of Distorted Humor, won two Grade 2s on the 

turf at Saratoga Race Course in 2009: the Bernard Baruch Handicap and the Fourstar 

Dave Handicap. Charlie Boden, head of sales at Darley, which campaigned 

Justenuffhumor, said, The New York breeding program is poised to become one of 

the most lucrative places in the country to raise a horse. We think Justenuffhumor will

e well-received by New York breeders given his race record and world-class 

pedigree. 

Purge is also making a new home in the Empire State. This A.P Indy sire-line horse 

also loved the Spa, as he broke his maiden here in 2003 and came back to score an 

impressive victory in Grade 2 Jim Dandy at three. The son of Pulpit nailed his lone 

Grade 1 win at four with a smart victory in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct. Vinery 

President Tom Ludt says, We think Purge will be well-received with New York 

breeders. Hes in the top of his crop in every category, is a son of emerging sire of sires 

Pulpit, and on top of that hes a very attractive individual. 

Questroyal Stud looks to bring durability, a top sire line, and a quality female family as 

it offers the Gone West son Marsh Side to breeders. The multiple Grade 1 winner 

earned more than $2.3 million dollars in a 31-race career that began at age 3 and drew 

to a close at age 7. His Grade 2-winning dam Colonial Play is by stamina influence 

Pleasant Colony, and she is a full sister to the dam of Eclipse Champion 2-year-old 

filly Pleasant Stage. Marsh Side will stand at Silvernails Farm near Pine Plains. 

Other newcomers included in the New York Stallion Registry, which is published by 

New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc. with the financial support of the Fund, include: 

Coal Play: The only son of 2003 Horse of the year Mineshaft at stud in NY will stand 

at McMahon Thoroughbreds. Coal Plays trainer, Hall of Famer Nick Zito, says, Coal 

Play could carry his speed over a mile, winning wire-to-wire in four of his five wins. 

Coal Play has tremendous conformation, a tremendous body and brilliant speed. He 

has the ability to make a terrific stallion. 

Magical Forest: This five-year-old son of Forest Camp is out of the precocious Silken 

Magic. He raced 15 times and won three stakes, including the G3 Barbaro S. at 

Delaware Park. 

Malibu Moonshine: His sire, Malibu Moon, stands for $60,000 in Kentucky. This 

horse, owned by Joseph Forrest, will stand for $3,000 at Carlland Stables in Avon, NY. 

Talk about durable: Malibu Moonshine launched his race career with three wins as a 

two-year-old, including the St. Nick Stakes at Charlestown. He went on to race 59 

more times through age 8, amassing a record of 62 - 12 (7 stakes) - 5 (3) - 8 (4) with 

earnings of $597,370. 

Relato Del Gato: Another durable runner, this son of Tale of the Cat, who stands for 

$30,000 at Ashford Stud in Kentucky, won the Phoenix Gold Cup H. at age six and 

notched a second in the Grade 3 Morvich Handicap that same year. He stands for a 

private fee at the Cohn Farm in Ferndale, NY. 

Sternman: This Mr. Prospector-line stallion loaded in the starting stall 66 times, 

winning his final race at age 9. The son of Idabel stands for $1,250 at the Coxon-Parent 

Farm in Fort Ann.

NY-Breds at Auction 

By Rab Hagin 

In the sales rings, three young females in November were 2010's highest-priced New 

York-breds: Fit Right In (in foal to Curlin), the 8-year-old dam of Rightly So, sold for 

$1,050,000 at Keeneland; plus 2010 Grade-1 winners Rightly So and Franny Freud, 

sold for $600,000 and $560,000 respectively at Fasig-Tipton Kentucky. The unraced 

Fit Right In, who produced Rightly So as her first offspring, was purchased by 

Katsumi Yoshida, who also was the buyer of Franny Freud. Rightly So, who had been 

a fairly pricey 2-year-old in training at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's 2008 

February select sale, going to Zayat Stables for $220,000 from Becky Thomas's Sequel 

Bloodstock as agent, was purchased by Patinack Farm. 

Among the 385 New York-bred yearlings that sold at auction in 2010 for prices 

totaling $9,956,500 were 19 that brought six-figure prices, headed by a Tale of the Cat 

colt out of Valdivia, by Pleasant Colony, that was purchased for $325,000 at 

Keeneland's September sale by Fox Hill Farm. That colt, named The Thinker, was bred 

by Empire Equines, LLC. 

A higher proportion of New York-bred 2-year-olds in training brought six-figure sales 

prices in 2010 compared to New York-bred sales yearlings, as 132 juveniles bred in 

the Empire State grossed $5,082,300 at auction, including 12 that went for six-figure 

bids. Top-priced among the dozen was a filly by Henny Hughes out of Open Window, 

by Trempolino, that was purchased for $275,000 by Thoroughbred Futures at Fasig- 

Tipton Florida's select sale at Calder. That filly, named Midnight Visit, was bred by 

Dr. Jerry Bilinski. 

New York-bred weanlings sold at auction in 2010 totaled 46 that brought aggregate 

final bids of $1,369,500, and the two that went for six-figure prices included a colt by 

Rock Hard Ten out of Regard, by Fusaichi Pegasus, purchased for $300,000 by 

Westrock Stables, LLC at Keeneland's November sale. Named Taken for Granite, the 

2010 colt was bred by Berkshire Stud. 

An interesting common characteristic of the top-priced yearling, 2-year-old, and 

weanling among New York-breds sold at auction in 2010 was that all three had 

unprepossessing catalogue pages. None were out of dams that had won or placed in 

stakes competition (two of the dams were winless), and none were out of dams that had 

produced stakes winners. Some other factors appearance, racing and earning 

opportunities available, or perhaps the under-tack workout performance by 2-year-old 

Midnight Visit must have enhanced their attractiveness to buyers.

2010 Registry Compliance Report 

The underlying theme for the registry compliance team at the New York State 

Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund in 2010 is one that will sound familiar 

to those working under economic constraints at every level from farm to state agency: 

doing more with less. 

This was the first full year that the Funds Field representatives worked under a 2009 

directive from the Board of Directors to keep a watchful eye on the health and welfare 

of thoroughbreds. It was a duty added in the wake of the 2009 rescue of dozens of 

animals from the Greene County farm of breeder Ernie Paragallo.* Mr. Paragallo was 

subsequently convicted in March 2010 on 33 counts of animal cruelty, and was 

sentenced in May to 2 years in prison and fined $33,000. He was released on bail the 

following month to appeal his sentence. Of the 96 horses taken from his Center Brook 

Farm in Climax, 6 had to be euthanized and the Columbia-Greene Humane Society 

cared for or found responsible homes for the remainder.** 

To maximize the effectiveness of the Field Team (currently consisting of Tom Conley 

and Tom Reynolds), Investigator Sue McDonough (State Police, retired) was invited 

by Executive Director Tracy Egan to review Article 26 of the Agriculture and Markets 

Sue McDonough (left) with Tracy Egan and the field team 

Law. Inv. McDonough shared that in her 26 years as a trooper, and now as an animal 

advocate, the majority of problems she has witnessed lie in the category of negligence 

resulting from ignorance, a lack of interest, or financial problems. She said that the 

first thing she does to help a horse is to help the owner understand that theres a 

problem and to try to help them rectify the situation.

Regular Duties of the Field Representatives 

To the many people who live and work on farms across the state, the field 

representatives serve as the public face of the Breeding Fund. Typically, the field 

reps visit each of our more than 300 farms at least once per year. In the photo below, 

field rep Tom Conley demonstrates to Executive Director Tracy Egan how he confirms 

the identify of a mare residing at High Cliff Farm in Delanson, Schenectady County. 

During farm visits, they check each mares tattoo numbers or the identifying markings 

written on the mares Jockey Club papers, to enable them to document an individuals 

status as a resident or non-resident broodmare. They not only count the number of 

mares at each farm, they also note whether she is in-foal and, if so, to which stallion 

and whether it is a New York or out-of-state stallion. The inspectors keep track of 

barren mares as well. In addition, if a mare (whose file travels with the inspectors such 

as Tom Conley, as shown in the photo below) no longer resides on the farm, inspectors 

will mark down whether she left the state, moved to another farm in the state, or is 

deceased, retired, sold, or has been given away. 

The information gathered at the farm level is logged into spreadsheets that are used by 

the registrar and by the Funds central office to confirm that an individual horse is 

eligible to be registered as a NY-bred. This registration adds tremendous value to a 

horse as a sales prospect and can return award money to the hard-working breeder, so 

the work performed by the field team is crucially important to protecting the vast 

majority of breeders who understand and abide by the strict rules of the NY-bred 

program.

Because green space is so important to the mission of the Fund, the inspectors also take 

note of acreage, number of buildings, barns, stalls, and fenced paddocks. In spite of 

the decline in the number of farms in the state to 307, the field representatives estimate 

New York breeding farms still encompass some 35,000 acres. 

Field Reps Promote the Program 

The field representatives have proven time and again that they are able communicators 

when it comes to spreading the word about the strength of the New York State 

Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Program. They travel armed with a 

thorough understanding of how our program works and stay informed about challenges 

facing the Fund, such as the 2009 bankruptcy filing of NYC OTB (the Funds largest 

contributor) and its closure in late 2010. They offer to leave brochures provided by 

NYTB, Inc. that promote both the Fund programs and the benefits of trade-group 

membership, so that farms can pass along the promotional information to current or 

potential customers. 

In 2010, the Fund also provided representatives with brochures to distribute concerning 

the issues of unwanted horses and responsible horse ownership. 

Budget Crunch Hits Field Team 

The financial statements included in this report detail how a decline in handle hurt 

revenue streams to the Fund. As such, the Board of Directors furloughed the newest 

member of the field team from September through December. At its December 

meeting, the third position on that field team, held by Jim Zito, was eliminated. The 

Fund is grateful to Jim for his years of service to the Fund and the people we serve, 

and wishes him well in his future endeavors. 

*In 2010, the Board formally instituted a new rule that awards will be temporarily withheld from 

persons accused of animal abuse, and would not be paid to anyone convicted of felony animal abuse. 

** In the summer of 2010, the Funds Executive Director visited two farms that helped the Columbia- 

Greene Humane Society rehabilitate the rescued horses. All of the horses appeared to be in good health, 

with plenty of body weight, shiny coats, and trimmed feet.

2010 – The Odyssey of New York-Breds Enters a New Era 

By Rab Hagin 

Despite adversity on a variety of political and economic fronts away from racetracks, 

breeding farms, and auction pavilions, 2010 was the year when the New York 

Breeding and Racing Program coalesced into unprecedented success in racing, sales, 

and acquisition of stallion talent. For the first time ever, four New York-breds won 

Grade/Group 1 races in a single season, as 5-year-old horse A Shin Forward, 4-yearold 

colt Haynesfield, 4-year-old filly Rightly So, and 3-year-old filly Franny Freud 

captured top-level events. Rightly So's unraced New York-bred dam was sold for 

$1,050,000 at Keeneland, and 563 New York-bred weanlings (46), yearlings (385), and 

two-year-olds in training (132) brought prices totaling more than $16.4 million during 

2010. 

Two New York-based stallions Posse and Freud had 2010 progeny earnings 

topping $4 million, three had offspring earnings exceeding $3 million, and eight (all 

scheduled to stand in the Empire State in 2011) boasted progeny bankrolls of more 

than $2 million each in 2010. 

Worldwide in 2010, there were 3,781 New York-bred starters, and they earned 

$69,289,272. Two New York-breds Haynesfield and Monmouth turf icon Get 

Serious became new millionaires in 2010. 

The onslaught of New York-bred open stakes success in 2010, when 25 state-breds 

won black-type stakes in unrestricted company and nine tallied 17 times in 

graded/group events, began on the weekend of February 27-28. That Saturday, Jeff 

Fletcher's and Hamilton Hale's 3-year-old son of state-based sire Catienus, Dont Blame 

the Cat, won Laurel's seven-furlong Miracle Wood Stakes, and Alan Brodsky's 4-yearold 

filly, Don't Forget Gil, captured Tampa Bay Downs' 1 1/16-mile Wayward Lass 

Stakes. On Sunday, Eishindo Company's New York-bred millionaire, A Shin Forward, 

scored his first group-level victory in the seven-furlong Hankyu Hai on Japanese turf. 

The following Saturday (March 6), Chester and Mary Broman's New York homebred 

3-year-old filly, Khancord Kid, took Gulfstream Park's graded Herecomesthebride 

Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf. About two hours earlier, New York-bred Castaneda had 

romped by three lengths in a front-running effort for Team Stallion Racing Corp., John 

Moirano, and Harold Lerner in Aqueduct's six-furlong Fred "Cappy" Capossela Stakes 

for open 3-year-olds. Five days later (March 11) at Aqueduct, Blue Bison Stable's and 

Stewart Hoffman's New York-bred daughter of in-state sire Congaree, Shine Upon, 

took the Dreamy Mimi Stakes for open 3-year-old fillies going a mile and 70 yards at 

Aqueduct. 

In April, New York-breds invaded Kentucky and came away with three graded stakes 

victories. On April 7, the amazingly versatile Franny Freud, a semi-homebred daughter 

of in-state sire Freud racing for Paul Pompa Jr., Stephen Yarbrough, and breeder 

Anthony Grey, scored by 4 ¾ lengths in Keeneland's Grade 2 Beaumont Stakes for 3- 

year-old fillies going just beyond seven furlongs on Polytrack. Three days later on

Keeneland turf, Michael Dubb's and High Grade Racing Stable's 7-year-old Silver 

Timber registered the first of back-to-back graded grass sprint wins in April by taking 

the 5 ½-furlong Shakertown Stakes. On April 30, Silver Timber was on Churchill 

Downs' lawn, where he shouldered top weight to win the graded Churchill Downs Turf 

Sprint in a stakes record clocking of 55.45 for five furlongs. 

Another daughter of Freud, Repole Stable's 5-year-old Lights Off Annie, gained her 

first open-company black type on Preakness eve (May 14) with a 5 ½-length romp in 

Pimlico's six-furlong Skipat Stakes. She had previously won the latest two renewals of 

Aqueduct's Broadway Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares. The next day at 

Delaware Park, owner-trainer Wesley Ward's first-out-winning (at Keeneland) juvenile 

New York-bred filly, Final Mesa, registered a facile 4 ¾-length triumph in the fourfurlong 

Polly Drummond Stakes on conventional dirt. Eight days later on May 23, 

Anstu Stables' 2009 New York Thoroughbred Breeders (NYTB) juvenile male 

champion, Ibboyee, won Monmouth's Spend a Buck Stakes at a mile and 70 yards for 

3-year-olds. 

New York-breds captured five stakes at four different tracks in New Jersey, 

Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ontario (Canada) during June, beginning with Silver 

Timber's third consecutive stakes tally of 2010 while under top weight in Monmouth's 

Wolf Hill Stakes at about 5 ½ furlongs on turf on June 5. Three days later, Everything's 

Cricket Stable's multiple turf sprint stakes-winning 6-year-old mare, Ahvee's Destiny, 

got her first synthetic surface black-type victory in Presque Isle Downs' Satin and Lace 

Stakes at 5 ½ furlongs over the Tapeta strip. On June 12, perennial New Jersey 

standout Get Serious, a 6-year-old New York-bred racing for James Dinan, Jacques 

Moore, and Phantom House Farm, inexplicably was overlooked in the graded 

Monmouth Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf but defeated eight rivals four of them 

favored over him. A week later, Benchmark Racing Stable's Lady Rizzi, a 7-year-old 

always-improving New York-bred mare, gained her first black type by winning 

Colonial Downs' 5 ½-furlong Buckland Stakes on turf over 10 rivals, despite breaking 

from the tenth post. On the final Saturday of June, Final Mesa improved to three-forthree 

with a 7 ¾-length laugher in Woodbine's My Dear Stakes at five furlongs on 

Polytrack. (She's for real; on January 5, 2011, she won Gulfstream's graded Old Hat 

Stakes at six furlongs on dirt for newly minted 3-year-old fillies.) 

Turtle Bird Stable's 2009 NYTB Horse of the Year, Haynesfield, won Belmont's 

historic Grade 2 Suburban Handicap at 1 1/8 miles on July 3 by 2 ¾ lengths, marking 

his fourth consecutive victory and second score of 2010 following an overnight mile 

tally at Belmont 20 days earlier. On July 4, Franny Freud took Belmont's Grade 1 

Prioress Stakes at six furlongs, stamping herself as arguably the best 3-year-old sprint 

filly in North America and becoming the only 2010 stakes winner at that time on dirt, 

synthetic, and turf. On the Monday, July 5 holiday of the Independence Day weekend, 

Zayat Stables' Rightly So, a 4-year-old daughter of in-state sire Read the Footnotes, led 

throughout under top weight in Belmont's graded Bed o' Roses Handicap at seven 

furlongs, capping probably the best three-day span ever for New York-breds. 

On July 17, another unbeaten New York-bred juvenile stakes winner emerged at 

Woodbine a la the aforementioned Final Mesa in Martha Gonzalez's Glory Game, 

who won the $142,215 (in U.S. funds) Colin Stakes at six furlongs on Polytrack by two

lengths over a prohibitive odds-on (and stakes-winning) favorite. On July 30, 

Obviously NY Stable's three-time NYTB champion of 2009 (older female, turf female, 

sprint female), 5-year-old Canadian Ballet, captured Penn National's six-figure Jenny 

Wade Handicap at five furlongs on turf in 55.64 while under top weight. 

Get Serious scored his second of three graded turf victories of 2010 in Monmouth's 1 

1/16-mile Oceanport Stakes on August 1. Six days later, Landsdowne Stables' New 

York-bred Sharp Secretary won Woodbine's $147,118 (in U.S. funds) Duchess Stakes 

for 3-year-old fillies going seven furlongs. The next day, JMJ Stables' New York-bred 

son of Read the Footnotes, Out of Respect, won Monmouth's Select Stakes for 3-yearolds 

by daylight over the 1-to-2 favorite (by New York-based sire Posse) who was 

coming off five consecutive stakes victories. On the final Saturday of August, Rightly 

So became the second New York-bred Grade 1 winner of the summer with a fourlength 

gate-to-wire domination of Saratoga's seven-furlong Ballerina Stakes, 

advancing to the head of the class among 2010's female dirt sprinters. 

Get Serious returned to Monmouth turf for his third graded victory and fourth win (in 

five starts) of 2010 on Labor Day eve (Sunday, September 5), capturing the one-mile 

Red Bank Stakes under top weight at odds-on and bettering his own course record set 

in 2009 by clocking 1:32.37. That victory, registered over five foes carrying five to 

seven pounds less than the New York-bred winner, and coming despite his stumbling 

and bumpy start, boosted Get Serious' earnings to $1,000,691, making him the 23rd 

millionaire bred in the Empire State. 

Another New York-bred NYRA stakes winner outside state-bred company emerged 

from the New York Stallion Stakes program when Aliyu Ben J Stables' homebred 

Freud colt, Lubash, took Belmont's one-mile Fifth Marine Stakes for eight 3-year-olds 

on yielding turf while carrying co-top weight on September 17. The next day, 

Hillwood Stable's first-out-winning (on turf) New York-bred, Bandbox, cruised to a 9 

½-length triumph in the six-figure Charles Town Juvenile Stakes at a two-turn seven 

furlongs on dirt for his second of three consecutive wins. 

In Belmont's historic Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup on October 2, Haynesfield did 

what no other horse not even future Hall of Fame member Zenyatta could do in 

2010, beating eventual Eclipse Champion Blame "handily" by four lengths in that 1 ¼- 

mile weight-for-age event. The victory made Haynesfield the 24th New York-bred 

millionaire, and eight weeks later he boosted his bankroll to $1,166,981 by placing a 

close second beaten a head while under co-top weight among nine in Aqueduct's 

Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile Handicap. A week later, Silver Timber got his fourth 

turf stakes victory of 2010 and third graded tally of the year by beating 10 rivals in 

Keeneland's 5 ½-furlong Woodford Stakes while carrying top weight. On October 29, 

Patsy Symons' New York-bred Gitchee Goomie proved that her solid third-placing at 

almost 22-to-1 among seven in Belmont's grassy Grade 1 Garden City Stakes 41 days 

earlier was no fluke when she won Belmont's 1 1/8-mile Topicount Stakes for 11 open 

3-year-old fillies on turf. 

A flurry of New York-bred open stakes successes highlighted the six-day span from 

November 20 through Thanksgiving. Majesty Stud's homebred Stormy's Majesty, who 

had won Saratoga's Albany Stakes for state-bred 3-year-olds in August, captured

Aqueduct's graded Discovery Handicap at the Albany distance of 1 1/8 miles on 

November 20, scoring by two lengths over six rivals. Three weeks later, that first 

offspring produced by New York-bred mare Raffie's Dream (by in-state stallion and 

NYTB champion Raffie's Majesty) faced older foes in Aqueduct's graded Queens 

County Stakes at 1 3/16 miles and placed second, missing by a head to a 5-year-old 

carrying five pounds less weight. 

On November 21, another standout produced by a New York-bred mare, A Shin 

Forward, beat 17 rivals to win the Group 1 Japan Mile Championship (1,600 meters on 

turf) in a stakes record 1:31.80, boosting his 2010 bankroll to $2,273,386 and 

surpassing Funny Cide's single-season New York-bred earnings record. Now with 

career earnings of $3,374,068, A Shin Forward who had been purchased for 

$290,000 at Fasig-Tipton Florida's 2007 select sale of 2-year-olds in training at Calder 

is within less than $200,000 of Funny Cide's total record earnings for a New Yorkbred. 

On the same Sunday as A Shin Forward's Group 1 triumph in Japan, Lubash scored by 

2 ½ lengths over seven rivals in Aqueduct's Monarch's Maze Stakes for open 3-yearolds 

going a mile on turf, getting his fifth victory (four on turf, one on dirt) of 2010. 

Winning by two lengths under equal top weight of 129 pounds in Aqueduct's graded 

Fall Highweight Handicap on Thanksgiving (November 25) was Vincent Scuderi's and 

James Riccio's New York-bred 6-year-old Endless Circle, who clocked the six furlongs 

in 1:09.79. It was Endless Circle's 11th career victory and eighth tally of 2010 (two 

others in stakes for state-breds) on the NYRA circuit, punctuating an exceptional 

season for the durable sprinter.

2010 NYTB Champions 

Intriguing developments emanating from the epic 2010 season involve the dilemmas of 

choosing certain NYTB champions. 

What Grade/Group-1 winner should be Horse of the Year: Haynesfield, the only 

conqueror of Eclipse Champion Blame in 2010; A Shin Forward, who shattered Funny 

Cide's single season earnings record for a New York-bred; or Franny Freud, who won 

stakes on dirt, synthetic, and turf 

Who deserves the Champion Turf Male Title: A Shin Forward; three-time graded 

winner (at three different distances) Get Serious; or three-time graded winner (and 

four-time turf stakes winner) Silver Timber 

What Grade-1 winner is most deserving for Champion Female Sprinter: multiplesurface 

star Franny Freud, who also beat males but raced exclusively against 3-yearolds; 

or Rightly So, whose graded wins came against fillies and mares from all crops 

Does graded winner Stormy's Majesty deserve Champion 3-Year-Old Male honors 

over Chester and Mary Broman's homebred Friend or Foe, who beat older New Yorkbreds 

(as well as Stormy's Majesty) in New York Showcase Day's Empire Classic and 

obliterated Say Florida Sandy's stakes record in Belmont's seven-furlong Mike Lee 

Who is a stronger candidate for 2-Year-Old Male: unbeaten (two-for-two) Woodbine 

stakes winner Glory Game, or 9 ½-length Charles Town Juvenile Stakes winner 

Bandbox, who five weeks later captured New York Showcase Day's Sleepy Hollow 

Stakes 

These are good dilemmas to have.

Promotion and Advertising 

In 2010, for the second year in a row, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and 

Development Fund used NYTB, Inc. as its sole source provider for promotional 

services. New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. is a trade and lobbying group that 

claims hundreds of NY breeders, owners, and stallion and farm owners as members. It 

does direct e-mailing to more than 4,000 individuals, and hosts or co-hosts events for 

established members of the racing community as well as newcomers and potential 

participants in New York racing. 

During 2010, the Fund paid out a net amount of $226,500 to NYTB Inc. Please review 

the NYTB promotional summary below.

The bulk of NYTBs advertisements were placed in the Thoroughbred Daily News, 

which bills itself as the Wall Street Journal for the Thoroughbred Industry 

Worldwide. TDN is emailed daily to an estimated 6,000 people who are intimately 

connected with horse racing and breeding. The NYTB ads were placed on Tuesdays. 

Advertising was light in the first half of the year, when there was still uncertainty about 

VLTs and the effect of NYC OTBs bankruptcy on the Breeding and Development 

Fund. However, if you followed the ad campaign through the remainder of the year, 

you saw that it trumpeted the positive news about VLTs as well as the 

accomplishments of New York-breds. Here, we start spreadin the news about the 

VLTs being a done deal.

This next ad trumpets the fact that NY-Bred Rightly Sos Grade I win at Saratoga 

punched her ticket to the Breeders Cup, and that yearlings of 2010 will be the first crop 

to race for VLT-enhanced purses in New York. 

The Fund would like to point out that in response to requests from some breeders to 

counter the magazine advertising campaign run by the Indiana program, the Fund paid 

half the cost (NYTB paid the other half) to place a cover tip ad in The Blood-Horse

Magazine. As luck would have it, the ad just happened to be on the Zenyatta 

(Breeders Cup Classic winner and eventual 2010 Horse of the Year) commemorative 

edition, so it is a promotion that should have a lasting effect.

There were many more ads that ran over the course of the past year, and the Fund 

looks forward to collaborating with NYTB, Inc. in 2011 as we help promote the 

responsible breeding and ownership of quality New York-breds. 

Additionally, the Fund gave its website a new, updated look and, we hope, made it 

more user-friendly. In early 2011 we will be moving back to our original web address, 

www.nybreds.com, where we will continue to keep members of the industry informed 

about the issues affecting the breeding and racing industries in New York State.

Breeding Programs in Other States 

By Executive Director Tracy Egan 

The merit of breeding programs in other states, and their ability to compete with the 

New York breeding program, was closely tied in 2010 to how each states breeding 

and racing interests fared in their interactions with their respective state lawmakers. 

Here, we look at some of some of the factors affecting breeding programs in other 

states. 

The state of INDIANA seemed solidly behind the efforts of ITOBA, the Indiana 

Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, to attract more business to the 

state. ITOBA had a $200K advertising budget to buy cover tips on industry magazines 

and place commercials in which they boldly attempted to recruit breeders and owners 

to the state. As previously mentioned in this report (in the Promotions and Advertising 

section), many Empire State breeders felt that this was a direct challenge to our 

primacy and asked that we respond with a highly visible cover tip. While the tagline 

Check out why IN-breds for all your thoroughbred ownership questions on the 

ITOBA website may make many smile, the organization is making a serious run at 

attracting industry dollars to their farms, training centers, and racetracks. The 

supportive attitude and funding of ITOBA allowed Indiana to offer a $4,000 increase 

in the award cap, bringing it to $14,000 for awards earned in restricted stakes races. 

(Note that NY awards are capped at $10k.) Prior to 2009, the minimum level to 

qualify for Out-of-State Breeder Awards was a claiming tag of $7,500 or higher, but 

that level has since been increased to $10,000. (Note that the New York program does 

not pay awards on any category of race run outside of NYS.) 

As bright as things appeared for the ITOBA programs in 2010, Blood-Horse 

commentator Tom LaMarra suggested that there may be clouds on the Indiana horizon 

in one of his columns, saying that Indiana (is) poised to join Delaware, Pennsylvania, 

and West Virginia as states that have taken gaming revenue from racing and breeding 

to fund state programs. 

PENNSYLVANIA, which placed 62,000 slots machines across the state starting in 

2006, resurrected the states racing and breeding industries, but the state has since 

reached back in to take a share of the windfall for other state programs. 

Despite having to share their newfound wealth, PA horsemen and women still benefit 

from the lions share of the original statutory amount of 12% of slots revenue, which is 

directed to increased purses, improvements at racetracks, and the states breeding 

program. When lawmakers adopted a budget in October 2009, it included a siphoning 

of 17% of the breeding and racing program money over the next four years. To put it 

another way, the PA programs are taking a hit of $2.7 million a year through fiscal 

year 2012-2013.

Still, the positive impact of slots on the racing industry in PA cannot be overstated. 

Richard McGarvey, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, was 

quoted on 12/29/10 by a suburban Chicago newspaper, The Daily Herald, as saying It 

has certainly taken an industry that was flat on its back and revitalized it. Youre 

seeing more racing dates in Pennsylvania. Youre seeing more breeding in 

Pennsylvania, more barns opening that werent here before. That same gaming board 

put out a report in Nov. 2010 demonstrating that live racing helps stimulate slots 

gambling, and therefore revenue for the state. Gross terminal revenues go up by an 

average of $56,000 on race days. While many racing fans complain that some 

racetrack casinos make it difficult to even find the racetrack, the Pennsylvania numbers 

demonstrate that while slots were meant to help racing, a live racing product also 

helps slots revenue. 

The significance of New Yorks Southern Tier neighbor funding a $23-million 

campaign to turn Pennsylvania into Kentucky East is that their foal crop is climbing 

higher as New Yorks has been dropping. For example, in 2008 Pennsylvania reported 

1,510 PA-breds, just 378 fewer foals than were dropped on NY farms. As 2010 drew 

to a close, the 2009 PA registered foal crop stood at 1,277, with more registrations 

expected. The Fund reports 1,788 foals born on farms in New York during that same 

year.* 

Clearly, the PA program is taking a first-time Lasix, first blinkers, apprentice-jockey 

approach (in the form of a hipper website, YouTube videos, blogs, and a multi-media 

ad campaign), as they try to outpace the Breeding Program leader: the New York 

Thoroughbred Breeding Program. 

LOUISIANA boasts a breeding program that began back in 1963, when just 146 foals 

were reported born on the states dirty dozen: a variety of 12 soil types, most of which 

were enriched by sediment deposits courtesy of the Mississippi, Ouachita, and Red 

Rivers. And LA breeders sure like raising horses: in 2008, the most recent year for 

which figures are available, 2,500 colts and fillies pushed their way out of their dams 

in the Pelican state. 

When it comes to mares bred in North America, Louisiana climbed to number two 

with a reported 3,093 mares sent to the breeding shed in 2010. Only Kentucky 

reported more mares bred as the decade came to a close. This prompts some to point 

to the Pelican state as the best program in the nation. However, sheer numbers of foals 

and high purses dont tell the whole story when comparing programs. 

According to the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association, Louisiana's racing 

and breeding industry plays an important role in the state's economic well-being and 

contributes a significant source of state revenue. The combined impact of both racing 

and breeding and their related industries generates nearly $930 million annually and 

employs nearly 9,000 people.” In contrast, the racing and breeding industries in New 

York State add an estimated $2.4 billion to the states economy and employ roughly 

35,000 people.

Like Pennsylvania, the purses in Louisiana are pumped up by slots revenue. The LAbred 

program can brag that the average purse for races run in Louisiana in 2009 was 

$25,000. 

For example, an article in the Times-Picayune quotes the owner of Le Mesa Stallions 

as pointing out a flaw in his states program: We I mean the state as a whole we 

have rewarded mediocrity. Brett Brinkman looks at LA largess and concludes that 

low-quality runners compete for too much money. Bottom-level LA-bred claimers 

chased after $12,000 dollars in purse money when they ran at the Fair Grounds in 

2010. Brinkman is again quoted, saying The overproduction of the lesser breed and 

the lesser quality has always been an issue in Louisiana. Critics like Brinkman 

conclude that where purses are fueled by slots revenue, breeders should try to breed 

better-quality horses. The danger of having an overpopulation of lesser horses is that 

they wont find a buyer or make an impact at the entry box, and therefore on state 

handle coffers. Since most breeders cant afford to race even a few of their homebreds, 

buyers are an absolutely crucial element of a successful breeding program. Steelyeyed 

realists know they probably wont find a pot of gold at the end of the finish line, 

but theyd like to come close to breaking even and to have fun along the way. New 

York, which will probably see the first slots-enriched purses in the later half of 2011, 

would do well to listen to Mr. Brinkmans cautionary note about his own program: 

Weve grossly, as a racing program, catered to the cheaper horses. 

FLORIDA: For the past decade and a half, breeders didnt have to check with the 

Jockey Club to know that Florida is the perennial Avis to Kentuckys Hertz in terms of 

the broodmare population in North America. This was not so in 2010. As mentioned 

above, Florida lost its second-place status to Louisiana. The 3,076 mares covered in 

2010 reflects a 23.9% decline from the year before, when 4,041 bred mares resided in 

the Sunshine State. 

Industry leaders across the nation can point to the struggling economy near decades 

end for many of the problems in racing/breeding. In Florida, the problems have led to 

some finger-pointing at the group that represents the breeders and owners in the state, 

the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association. Member Gordon Reiss, 

who also represents other breeders who were not happy with the leadership of the 

FTBOA, was quoted in a Dec. 1, 2010 article at Ocala.com, saying You can only 

blame the economy for so much. We had the biggest drop in number of mares bred in 

the country since 2008. We have mares and stallions leaving the state for Louisiana 

and other parts of the country with better incentive programs. What happened Why 

are we lagging far behind 

For its part, FTBOA is on the record as defending its lobbying efforts on behalf of 

breeders in the State Capital. In fact, in 2010, the membership group was able to 

convince lawmakers to lower taxes on slot-machine revenue from 50% to 35%. This 

allowed the group to add some flexibility to its awards system. In the past, Florida 

only paid awards at the win level. Its expected at this writing that the state will 

approve a change such that awards will be offered for horses finishing first, second, 

and third.

Also, FTBOA expects to be able to pay out-of-state Breeders Awards for Floridabreds 

that win one of the most popular betting events of the winter race season, the 

Sunshine Million races in California. 

On the promotion front, the Florida breeding program joins its Department of 

Agriculture in paying for ads that proclaim: Floridathe Best State to do Business. 

Among the positives mentioned in the ads: 

¨ No personal state income tax 

¨ No individual capital gains tax 

¨ Florida ranked third in U.S. in number of horses and size of its horse industry 

¨ Floridas greenbelt exemption providing property-tax breaks for FL horse 

farms 

Perhaps the crowning achievement in 2010 for the Florida horse industry is the fact 

that three Florida-breds won Breeders Cup races: Dubai Majesty, Awesome Feather, 

and Big Drama. New York-breds did not make the winners circle this past year; 

however, a record five were entered. The New York Thoroughbred Breeding and 

Development Fund is confident that seeing the likes of Canadian Ballet, Deciphering 

Dreams, Haynesfield, Rightly So, and Silver Timber earning the right to compete on 

racings biggest stage set an example of excellence that will inspire other New York 

breeders to dream big and adjust their breeding programs accordingly, to reach racings 

highest level with the Empire States product. 

* In 2001, before Pennsylvania launched its effort to boost purses, gambling revenue, and agricultural 

income, as well as to lure tourism dollars to the Keystone State, just 901 thoroughbreds were foaled 

there. Thats fewer than half the number born in NY that same year, when the Fund registered 1,985 

foals.

organization, which has interests not only in the USA but in Canada, The 

United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil. 

In the past few years with the global downturn in the economy and the resulting 

changes taking place in the racing and breeding industry Adena Springs chose 

to diversify into many regional markets 

First we chose to establish an interest in New York because we saw 

an opportunity to maximize our breeding program in what we believe is an 

emerging market. On the other hand it was because of a positive 

relationship with the McMahon Family of Saratoga. 

Having been advised of the opportunities of the New York program by our 

friend Joe McMahon, we felt secure entering into a business relationship. 

Joe McMahon and his family are established and credible breeders in the 

State of New York. They have offered us the opportunity to expand into this 

marketplace which both Joe and Adena Springs feel is on the verge of expanding 

due to the numerous changes in New York State's vision for racing. 

Sincerely, 

Dermot Carty

Dear Tracy, 

Finger Lakes Racing in Farmington has a significant economic impact because their roots 

run deep into area towns and counties. This is a community track. We have about 115 

trainers here. Nearly all of them live here; they have farms here. They absorb most all the 

hay and straw around here for a hundred miles. There are hundreds of farms that supply 

goods and services to the track. That pours money into the economy. Additionally, local 

businesses that include service stations, farm equipment, waste management, 

manufacturers, and restaurants benefit from racing. 

A 2007 study showed Finger Lakes economic impact on the region to be $120 million 

annually. Thats was based on the earnings and spending of 475 track employees and the 

1,298 working independently in racing. 

Statistical information: 

· In 2010, we had 275 NY Bred races offered and 179 races filled for racing. That 

is 12.2% of our total (1,467) races held in 2010 

· There are approximately 162 Finger Lakes Racing Association employees and 

approximately 820 working independently during live racing for 2010. 

· The average live handle per horse per race was $15,888 

· Our racing tax on live and simulcast was approx. $400k in 2009 

· Our attendance in 2010 for live and simulcast racing was approximately 210,000 

guests

Subj: NY Bred Program 

Hi Tracy: 

It was good talking to you today about NY Bred Program. Hope funding is restored to full 

amount before our payment is due. Hoping to earn a few more awards before the end of 

year. We hope to breed our mare to a NY stallion this year or at least bring her back in 

time to be eligible if we go out of state 

Rich Filosa 

Carlton Hansen 

As a breeder in NY we just had a NY Bred win on Oct 23rd. Since I am still relatively 

new to this aspect of the game (Breeder) can you tell me what time frame to expect 

distribution of the breeder awards. Thank you for your time

Dear Carlton, 

Congratulations on your winner. Whats the horses name, breeding, do you still own it 

The checks will go out on Thursday, Dec. 2. It will only be 50% of what your horse 

earned due to two withholdings initiated because NYC OTB failed to make statutory 

payments to the Breeding Fund. However, its beginning to look as though we will be 

able to pay the withholding early next year, probably in February.

Subject: Florida's example 

Tracy, 

In response to your newsletter dated Oct 2010, which made request for comments, I 

offer the following, which you may share with the Chairman's committee or anyone else: 

Replicating Florida's example of discontinuing stallion awards for departed stallions 

would be: A) ill-conceived, B) illogical, and C) counter-productive. 

A) Building a stallion base in the state is certainly one facet of the industry that the Fund 

has the ability to influence. By touting stallion awards, it has the bully pulpit to 

successfully argue that it would be indeed a profitable venture for any stallion owner or 

manager. However, by forcing any stallion owner or syndicate to remain in the state to 

collect awards from foals already produced is a disincentive that only sullies the 

credibility of the program, and hence foster skepticism. Therefore this measure would 

be ill-conceived.

B) It is illogical because you are punishing one group among the breeder's and 

rewarding another, at the formers expense. Why not stop paying breeder's awards from 

mares that likewise leave the state 

C) It is counter-productive because NY is considerably smaller than Florida and their 

paradigm is irrelevant (not that I would argue that they are right, on the contrary). No 

doubt Florida was used as a proving ground for stallions because of the vast amount of 

mares that professional horsemen bred, then broke, trained and raced or sold their 

progeny. Florida, with its 12 month training climate, and the vast amount of training 

tracks proved invaluable to facilitate the development of 2 yr-olds, and hence the quick 

boost to first and second year sires. This made the hot young stallions ripe to be 

relocated to Kentucky, or even now abroad, as they were given a jump-start. Mr. 

Prospector immediately comes to mind. Of course Florida did not have the deep 

pockets within the breeding community to protect a great young sire, and hence the 

stallions followed the market, as they should. 

NY's situation is not comparable, because of the relatively small population of mares, 

and the longer time that the average NY Bred takes to get to the races. Our gene pool is 

so small that it would be most beneficial to every breeder to circulate stallions through 

the state, not incarcerate them in it. 

Example: A new farm locates within our borders and brings a flashy, well-bred, newly 

retired G1, maybe eventually a classic winner to stand. The farm sends nearly all it's 

mares to support the horse in years 1 and 2. Other in-state breeder' flock to the stallion 

in those first two years. Then what happens Anyone with good mares and good 

sense breeds their mares to other stallions after that. Who will be left to support that 

stallion The stallion manager will be fighting for his financial survival because of the 

incredibly small amount of mares remaining that have not been bred to him in the first 2 

years, most of which would be inferior to the mares previously bred. His CI would drop 

precipitously. The stallion manager needs to be free to market any stallion where it is 

most in demand, without punitive damages assessed after the fact, for work already 

done, and future bonuses already earned. 

In fact, a case could be made that it would be more beneficial to all breeder's if 

additional rewards were given to any stallion that departs the state after standing for 2 

years (tongue-in-cheek). The breeders of the state would be much better served if we 

had revolving stallions, shuttling from state to state, ala Catienus, or state to other 

countries. If the stallion awards were predicated on stallions remaining in the state in 

perpetuity, it would be difficult to construct such revolving stallion deals, 

thereby shackling the breeders, and likewise repressing the stallion managers from 

attaining new stock, as they weigh the potential monetary benefits from future stallion 

awards against the risk of new investment. 

Perish the thought of regulating against horse-trading. All ships are lifted with a rising 

tide. Don't try to hold the tides back, as the tide waits for no man. Good business will go 

elsewhere if you try.

Subject: Program awards & purse monies 

Re: Tracy's letter for October 

Having bred and raced numerous homebred over the last 30 years, we felt we should 

weigh in publicly on the subjects being addressed by this committee. 

YES-the fund should seek as commitment from NYRA to run a minimum number of 

races for NY-breds. 

YES- the awards for open company owners should be bumped up 

YES-stop paying awards to stallions that have left the state 

NO!!-award payments on low-level claiming races should not be eliminated- ALL ny bred 

races should pay awards to the breeders 

We, as a state breeding organization, should continually look around and learn from 

states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, and other entities. It is financially punishing 

enough to breed and raise horses in New York State. Doubly punishing to race in NY. 

The industry is important to all of us on all levels. Getting something back from 

enterprises that make huge profits from our products is important. 

Thanks for working for us, keep trying to get our share of this huge business.

Thank you David and Emma, 

I hope many more people join you and actually read my letter and the invitation to 

comment about the awards program. It's critically important that the hard-working people 

in our program have a say as to whether changes are implemented or not.

DA Honored for Paragallo Conviction 

Greene County District Attorney Terry Wilhelm, center, was awarded a plaque for professional excellence for his 

successful prosecution of former horse breeder Ernest Paragallo. New York State Police at Catskill Senior 

Investigator Scott Youngblood, left and New York State Racing and Wagering Board Chairman John Sabini 

joined Wilhelm at the Saratoga Race Course Friday afternoon. The award was presented by the Columbia- 

Greene Humane Society/SPCA, the New York State Police, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board 

and the New York Racing Association. Photo provided 

By Colin DeVries 

Hudson-Catskill Newspapers 

CATSKILL — In the winner’s circle at the Saratoga Race Course Friday, the county’s top 

prosecutor was congratulated for convicting one of the thoroughbred industry’s most 

dastardly. 

Greene County District Attorney Terry Wilhelm was presented with a plaque for professional 

excellence in the successful prosecution and conviction of horse breeder Ernest Paragallo. 

Paragallo was found to have 177 malnourished thoroughbreds at Center Brook Farm in the 

town of Coxsackie, which were seized by the Columbia-Greene Human Society/SPCA on April 

9, 2009. 

Following a seven-day bench trial in March, Paragallo was found guilty of 33 misdemeanor 

animal cruelty counts for improper sustenance. He was sentenced to two years in jail and a 

$1,000 fine for each charge, the maximum allowed by law. 

The incident — and subsequent conviction — sent shockwaves throughout the thoroughbred 

and horse racing industries, and continues to redefine appropriate conduct for horse breeders 

throughout the state.

Wilhelm was presented the award on the eve of the Travers Stakes and in the company of 

some of the sport’s top competitors. 

He expressed gratitude during a phone interview Saturday and said he felt “humbled” after 

being presented the award. 

“It was just a wonderful day and I felt honored,” said Wilhelm. “This case seems to have had 

an effect on the regulatory agencies to increase monitoring of this type of activity. It’s so 

gratifying to think that our little trial is having such a profound impact on the industry.” 

The award was presented by the New York State Police, who conducted an extensive 

investigation in the case, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, who has stripped 

Paragallo of racing and owners’ privileges, the New York State Racing Association, who has 

banned Paragallo from racing or visiting tracks, and the Columbia-Greene Humane 

Society/SPCA, who cared for and facilitated the adoption of nearly all the malnourished 

thoroughbreds found at the farm. 

Wilhelm acknowledged the help of his colleagues, particularly State Police Sgt. Lisa Herdman, 

who provided priceless amounts of thoroughbred and animal cruelty knowledge to assist in the 

prosecution, and veterinarian Dr. Jerry Bilinski, who worked for hours with Wilhelm to learn 

about the proper care, treatment and ownership of thoroughbreds. 

“A lot of cases have little special twists you have to be ready for,” Wilhelm said, “so I became 

immersed in the feeding, care and treatment of thoroughbreds. Those guys spend hours with 

me on this case.” 

Since the Center Brook Farm incident, new regulations adopted by state Thoroughbred 

Breeding and Development Fund have resulted in more comprehensive inspections before 

awarding funds to breeders and suspension or revocation of funds to anyone implicated in 

horse cruelty. 

Paragallo faces further fines by the state Racing and Wagering Board in the amount of $5,000 

for each of his cruelty convictions. 

He was released in June from serving his two year jail sentence in Greene County Jail pending 

appeal.

EQUINE RESEARCH 

The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund Corporation gives 

two percent of its total annual revenue to the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund at the 

Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. In 2010, the Fund remitted 

the sum of $228,000 (preliminary figure). 

The board of directors of the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund consists of Dean Michael 

Kotlikoff of Cornell and of representatives of New Yorks thoroughbred and harness 

racing industries. The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund 

is currently represented on the Zweig Board by two members of the New York State 

Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Funds board: John Sabini, Chairperson, and 

Dr. William B. Wilmot. 

At the annual meeting of the Zweig Fund, various equine research proposals are reviewed 

and evaluated. The Board then decides which proposals will be funded and at what level. 

A copy of the Zweig Report for 2009 can be viewed at our website (www.nybreds.com), 

and the 2010 report will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
